Our perennial mission is to provide an easy-to-use and knowledge-forward reference to guide clinicians, even as the incidence of chronic diseases is climbing and life expectancy for men and women in the United States has declined for the fifth consecutive year after a catastrophic and massive modern day pandemic.
Our authors have the formidable task of ensuring that they deliver cogent synopses across each organ system, incorporating new references and key points that affirm and potentially change primary care practice. We are indebted to our returning authors who continue to provide updated chapters and to our new authors who lend their expertise and energy to developing new content.
